¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨ the honey is a reddish amber, very ¨¨&¨&&¨¨&¨
¨&&&¨&¨¨¨& viscous (but still pourable). it smells ¨&&&¨&¨&&¨
&¨¨&&&¨¨&¨ slightly of eucalyptus, and has a &¨¨&&&&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&&¨ mostly bitter taste. &¨&¨¨¨&&&&
&&&¨&&&¨&& &&&¨¨&¨¨¨¨
¨¨&&¨¨&&¨& it's highly addictive, and possess ¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨&
¨&¨&¨&¨&&¨ strong psychotropic effects. ¨&&&¨&¨¨&&

¨¨&&¨¨¨¨&¨ &&¨&&&&&&¨
¨&¨&¨¨¨&&¨ the honey materializes in vaccuums ¨&&¨¨¨¨¨&¨
&&&&¨¨&¨&& within any labyrinthine space. the more &¨&¨¨¨¨&&¨
¨¨¨&¨&&&¨& folded and ambiguous, the faster it &&&¨¨¨&¨&&
¨¨&&&¨¨&&¨ emerges. the cavernous systems under ¨¨&¨¨&&&¨&
¨&¨¨&¨&¨&& the desert of kirugu serves this ¨&&¨&¨¨&&&
&&¨&&&&&¨¨ purpose very well - the lizards use &¨&&&¨&¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨¨&¨¨ pumps to empty small boxes or jars of &&¨¨&&&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨¨&&¨& air, which then are left overnight and ¨&¨&¨¨&&&¨
&&&¨¨&¨&&& harvested the next day. &&&&¨&¨¨&&
¨¨&¨&&&¨¨& ¨¨¨&&&¨&¨¨
¨&&&¨¨&¨&& most spaces are somewhat mazelike, and ¨¨&¨¨&&&¨¨
&¨¨&¨&&&¨& it's not uncommon for lizards in kirugu ¨&&¨&¨¨&¨¨
&¨&&&¨¨&&¨ veszelle city to keep a few jars (often &¨&&&¨&&¨&
&&¨¨&¨&¨&¨ hanged from the ceiling in metal crowns &&¨¨&&¨&&¨
¨&¨&&&&&&& made for this purpose). however, these ¨&¨&¨&&¨&&
&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ may take weeks to fill. &&&&&¨&&¨&

&¨&&&¨&¨¨& ¨ one spoon ¨ &¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨
&&¨¨&&&¨&& ¨¨¨¨¨ &¨¨¨¨¨&&¨&
¨&¨&¨¨&&¨¨ the drug is used by the lizards in &¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨
&&&&¨&¨&¨¨ these small (but often continuous) &¨¨¨&&&¨&¨
¨¨¨&&&&&¨& doses. this heightens the senses &¨¨&¨¨&&&&
¨¨&¨¨¨¨&&¨ somewhat but at the cost of a lessened &¨&&¨&¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨&¨&& ability to multi-task - context &&¨&&&¨¨&&
&¨&¨¨&&&¨¨ switching might take longer and be more ¨&&¨¨&¨&¨&
&&&¨&¨¨&¨& confusing. &¨&¨&&&&&¨

¨&&&&&¨¨&¨ ¨¨¨¨¨ ¨&¨&¨&¨¨¨¨
&¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨ multitasking becomes very hard (the &&&&&&¨¨¨¨
&¨¨¨&&&¨&¨ thought does not occur). senses more ¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨&
&¨¨&¨¨&&&¨ acute but "unimportant" (ignored). ¨¨¨¨&&¨¨&¨
&¨&&¨&¨¨&& inner perceptions take the upper hand, ¨¨¨&¨&¨&&&
&&¨&&&¨&¨¨ abstraction and memory faculties are ¨¨&&&&&¨¨¨
¨&&¨¨&&&¨& sharpened severely. slight telepathy ¨&¨¨¨¨&¨¨&
&¨&¨&¨¨&&¨ (mostly moods) with other honey eaters. &&¨¨¨&&¨&&
&&&&&¨&¨&¨ sense of thirst dissappears. still easy ¨&¨¨&¨&&¨¨
¨¨¨¨&&&&&¨ to move around the body (if so &&¨&&&¨&¨&
¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨ inclined). ¨&&¨¨&&&&&
¨¨&&¨¨¨&&& &¨&¨&¨¨¨¨&

&&&&¨&&¨&¨ ¨ seven spoons ¨ ¨¨¨¨&¨¨&¨&
¨¨¨&&¨&&&& ¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨&&¨&&&¨
¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨ the honey eater becomes unresponsive to ¨¨&¨&&¨¨&¨
¨&&&¨&¨¨¨& normal stimuli, but able to override ¨&&&¨&¨&&¨
&¨¨&&&¨¨&¨ their own senses with dreamlike &¨¨&&&&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&&¨ imagery. sharing of thoughts with other &¨&¨¨¨&&&&
&&&¨&&&¨&& eaters, mood reading of those who stay &&&¨¨&¨¨¨¨
¨¨&&¨¨&&¨& sober (worth noting that the thoughts ¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨&
¨&¨&¨&¨&&¨ are very fragmented and hard to ¨&&&¨&¨¨&&
&&&&&&&¨&& decipher, unless you are at a similar &¨¨&&&¨&¨&
¨¨¨¨¨¨&&¨¨ level of spoons). at this point the &¨&¨¨&&&&¨
¨¨¨¨¨&¨&¨& body is hard to move, and starts losing &&&¨&¨¨¨&¨
¨¨¨¨&&&&&& water. ¨¨&&&¨¨&&¨

¨¨&&&¨¨&&¨ and is completely unable to move. there ¨¨&¨¨&&&¨&
¨&¨¨&¨&¨&& is intermittent thought sharing with ¨&&¨&¨¨&&&
&&¨&&&&&¨¨ sober persons (although &¨&&&¨&¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨¨&¨¨ unintelligible). memeories are sharded &&¨¨&&&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨¨&&¨& or not formed. ¨&¨&¨¨&&&¨

&¨&&&¨¨&&¨ ~~~~~~~~~~~ &¨&&&¨&&¨&
&&¨¨&¨&¨&¨ &&¨¨&&¨&&¨
¨&¨&&&&&&& most deaths are due to loss of water - ¨&¨&¨&&¨&&
&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ thirst is one of the last senses to &&&&&¨&&¨&
¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨& restable after coming down, often gone ¨¨¨¨&&¨&&¨
¨&&¨¨¨¨¨&¨ for up to twenty four hours. at higher ¨¨¨&¨&&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨¨¨&&¨ doses it's hard to move, even if you ¨¨&&&¨&&&¨
&&&¨¨¨&¨&& would remember drinking (which is also ¨&¨¨&&¨¨&&
¨¨&¨¨&&&¨& made harder by the attention focusing &&¨&¨&¨&¨¨
¨&&¨&¨¨&&& properties of the honey). ¨&&&&&&&¨¨
&¨&&&¨&¨¨& &¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨
&&¨¨&&&¨&& people are known to suffer injuries &¨¨¨¨¨&&¨&
¨&¨&¨¨&&¨¨ from being still in unfavourable &¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨
&&&&¨&¨&¨¨ climates for too long, sometimes to the &¨¨¨&&&¨&¨
¨¨¨&&&&&¨& point of death. another danger is &¨¨&¨¨&&&&
¨¨&¨¨¨¨&&¨ actually locomotion of the body... &¨&&¨&¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨&¨&& walking around is still somewhat &&¨&&&¨¨&&
&¨&¨¨&&&¨¨ possible after losing sight, which have ¨&&¨¨&¨&¨&
&&&¨&¨¨&¨& lead to seveal falls. additionally, &¨&¨&&&&&¨
¨¨&&&¨&&&& robberies of the intoxicated are common. &&&&¨¨¨¨&&
¨&¨¨&&¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨&¨¨¨&¨&
&&¨&¨&¨¨¨& lastly, albeit very rare, it's possible ¨¨&&¨¨&&&&
¨&&&&&¨¨&¨ to die of pure overdose (on the scale ¨&¨&¨&¨¨¨¨
&¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨ of jars of honey) before being killed &&&&&&¨¨¨¨
&¨¨¨&&&¨&¨ by thirst. there are rumors that this ¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨&
&¨¨&¨¨&&&¨ leaves "ghosts", who will still share ¨¨¨¨&&¨¨&¨
&¨&&¨&¨¨&& their thoughts long after their bodies ¨¨¨&¨&¨&&&
&&¨&&&¨&¨¨ are dead and gone. ¨¨&&&&&¨¨¨
